Chapter 45: Ambush
After Butcher Wang got out of the car and entered the Wild Taste Pavilion, Li Xiao saw that the man ignored Butcher Wang, so he asked Li Ren to go out of the city.
The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper said Li Xiao's group of people in the store. Then he saw the king butcher come into the shop.
The shopkeeper was busy entertaining. The shopkeeper also stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything else to do, brother?" ”
So the butcher told him about the conversation he had accosted and the fact that he had just been followed.
The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard this: "Recently, a group of people from outside the city have robbed several groups of merchants, but fortunately, they only robbed money and did not die. Those little brothers should be fine. Can the money from the sale of bears be on the old brother? “
The king butcher said: "How can it be on me, I am a leader." Are there many of them? Why didn't the government arrest it? “
The shopkeeper said: "There are about a dozen of those people, all of them are young and middle-aged, and it is said that they are hiding from the conscription. The government has already issued a notice to let the people entering and leaving the city be careful, and it is estimated that they will be ready to arrest them in the next few days. Maybe because of this, they blatantly followed them to the city. “
The shopkeeper asked, "Of these people, is the youngest person talking?" “
Wang Butcher said: "Actually, I don't really understand how so many people look at Li Qing's eyes and act. I stayed today because of Li Qing's kid. This kid is really righteous."
The shopkeeper interjected and asked, "Li Qing is that kid's real name?" “
Butcher Wang replied: "This name is indeed true, I inquired when I came out, that Li Qing is quite famous in our village, and my daughter-in-law knows it." If Li Xiao heard this, he would definitely ask, since you have asked your daughter-in-law, why don't you ask why I am famous for falling to the ground. ‘
The king butcher was a little distressed about the money, but the bad guy was fine.
He said goodbye to the shopkeeper, "I'll go back to my son-in-law's house." Thank you both for your hospitality. ”
Li Ren drove out of the city gate, and there were a few more people following behind. Because of the robbery, there were not many people out of the city during this time.
Li Xiao thought that they did not dare to make a move at the city gate. Then he instructed everyone and said: "Brother-in-law give me the bow, you sit together, Wu Tian, you follow Li Ren to grab the ox cart, one on each side, you must catch the ox cart." What I say now, you all hear it in your heart, and I will say it only once. I won't let you get off, and none of you will get off. Especially Wu Tian, if you dare to be disobedient and make your own opinions, you will die, and I will never spare you when I go back. Honestly stay in the car, do you hear? ”
All four said at the same time, "I heard you."
Zhang Cheng and Wang Wen clung to the wheel. Li Ren and Wu Tian grabbed the reins and drove the car carefully.
Li Xiao stood up and looked at the few people who were following in the distance. He looked at the people who appeared in front of the car. Li Xiao whispered, "Li Ren, drive the car to the dirt slope." ”
Then Li Xiao shouted loudly: "A few of you have been with us for an afternoon, what are you doing?" ”
Several people in the distance heard the shouts and tried to surround their ox cart.
Li Xiao shouted: "All stand still, whoever is taking a step forward, I will take someone's life, although killing pays for life, but when encountering bandits, there is no reason to wait to be killed." “
One of the people said, "We only want money, not your lives." “
Li Xiao saw that everyone stopped, and he was even more vigilant in his heart. He said, "How do you know we have money?" “
At this time, Li Ren had already driven the ox cart on the dirt slope, and they were considered to be in a high position. The bullock cart stopped.
When the ox cart stopped, the man said, "It's strange that you are carrying so much straw into the city in the autumn harvest. Therefore I will send men after you. When you go to the game and come out, there is obviously less stuff in the car. Hehe, isn't this just rich? “
Li Xiao and the others suddenly realized. Still not careful enough.
Li Xiao said: "Then how do you know that the five of us can take down those beasts, but we can't take down the nine of you?" “
The man was stunned, there were seven people on their side, and two of them were quietly hiding behind, ready to take it by surprise, but he didn't expect that kid's eyes to be so treacherous. The other two heard the voice and also came out.
Wu Tian saw nine people, and they were all adults in their twenties and thirties, and he was a little bottomless in his heart.
Li Xiao said: "You guys stand together now. Believe it or not, I'll be able to get rid of all nine of you right now. ”
The leader laughed, "I'm a little scared if the bow is on the man who has been behind you." I wonder that as soon as you leave the city, bows and arrows will be in your hands. I'd love to hear your explanation, is your archery even better? ”
Li Xiao let go of the bow, and the hand holding the arrow reached out to the barrel of the arrow, and took three arrows out at once. Not to mention the robbers, but Wu Tian and they were all surprised when they saw it, what is this for.
Li Xiao quickly pulled the bow and shot the arrows, three arrows fired at once, twice in a row, and the six arrows between the lightning and flint were shot in front of the feet of the six people, some of the arrows broke the shoes, and some of the arrows happened to stick to the tips of the shoes. Two of them sat on the ground in fright. Even the person who spoke didn't speak again for a long time, and he was scared enough. The three people who weren't shot went to pull the person who sat down, but they couldn't pull it up, so fortunately, they let the two sit on the ground.
Li Xiao shouted loudly: "Is this explanation satisfactory or not? If you're not satisfied, you can let the people behind me shoot a few more arrows to show you, but of the five of us, I'm the only one who doesn't kill."
The nine people were all frightened, what kind of archery was this, this was still the youngest of those people. If he is the only one who does not kill, it means that the other four have all killed. The man in the lead stared at Li Xiao's expression carefully, and saw that he didn't seem to be lying. Then he said, "Thank you for not killing, let's go."
The men went away, and turned to go, and one of them shot an arrow into his shoe, and because the shoe was too big, it didn't hit his foot, and he took two blows before he drew his sword. Hurry up and chase the others.
The people in the car were relieved to see that the people were gone, and as soon as Wu Tian wanted to speak, he heard Li Xiao say, "Don't speak, don't move." Li Ren drove away".
A few people obediently remained motionless, and then Li Ren drove the ox cart back to the main road and continued walking.
Li Xiao and the others walked for a quarter of an hour, and when they saw that no one was following, they breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, no one is following." And they were relieved.
I heard Wang Wensheng say awkwardly: "Boss Qing, may I ask who you learned archery from, and does your master still accept apprentices?" ”
Wu Tian also looked back at this Li Xiao, he was also interested in this.
Li Xiao coughed and said, "I learned archery from my grandfather." ”
Zhang Cheng listened to Li Xiao's words, choked on his own saliva, and coughed violently. The others looked at Zhang Cheng and felt that there was something wrong with this. Zhang Cheng knew that Li Xiaoyou had a master, and he also knew that Old Man Li Shan didn't dare to shoot arrows in front of other people at all, which showed that his archery skills were average.
Li cautiously glanced at Zhang Cheng, and continued: "Later, I met my master and studied with my master for a year. “
Li Xiao looked at everyone's expectant eyes and hurriedly said, "My master is passing by here, and he left when I came to my uncle's house." If you want to learn, I can teach you. ”
Everyone nodded excitedly and agreed, they want to learn. In this era, there is no benefit from anything, and when they are old, they will also go to the army.
